As far as I can tell he’s slightly left of centre, not even particularly radical.
Painting this man as a rabid communist, when as far as I can tell he’s mainly been fixing potholes, is a really stupid move from the right wing propaganda machine.
Even if they think they’ll be able to rig the next elections, alienating half the population is a dumb idea.
Is it a stupid move? Calling anything left of hunting the poor for sport “liberal” and anything left of giving the 1% all the money “communism” seems to be working extremely well for the right-wing. Perhaps we are dropping the ball by not giving an actual extreme left perspective in politics to balance things out.
Hey the Banana Republic is revolting! COMMUNIST! Here comes the American warships to stop communism in the name of the capitalist overlords with taxpayers money. Isn’t that sosialism for the rich?

Americans are irrationally anti-communist, that strategy is being used because it works.
They were irrationally anti-communist, anti-socialist, and pro-capitalist, but polling suggests that’s changing.
It’s the same with the whole Israel thing. There’s been a slow but noticeable shift in public opinion.

Nowadays can they even reach the target without killing themselves? 😂
Everyone gets called communist. And when everyone’s communist, no one is.
